EVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES

Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...

EVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...

Cell-mediated immunity in Cryptococcosis.

Cell-mediated immune responses in patients who had recovered from cryptococcosis were compared to those of healthy subjects. Cryptococcal patients were mildly lymphopenic but showed no defect in percentage of thymus-derived lymphocytes. One-third had positive delayed skin test reactions to cryptococcal antigen. Their skin test reactivity to two commonly used noncryptococcal antigen’s was less i...
